My husband is my best friend. It’s true. He became my best friend when I was 16 and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

Any time an event comes up and I’m told I can bring a friend, the person I want to bring is my husband. Do I have girl friends that would rather eat brunch or paint pictures of trees? Of course! But my immediate reaction every time someone says bring a friend is: I wonder if my husband is free? (Not that he would even want to go eat brunch or paint anyway, though).

Every movie you watch or every book you read, it’s always a dynamic girl duo taking on the world. It’s a girl friend that gets to know all the secrets and be the maid of honor for not only the wedding, but basically for life. You mention “my person,” and everyone knows you’re talking about the Christina Yang to your Meredith Grey.

That’s not my case.
